On January 3, 1987, the weather was sunny, with southeast winds of level 5 to level 6, and the temperature was minus three degrees to above zero and four degrees.

Location, Tokyo, Japan.

It is still the New Year's Day. Although it is completely different from the Chinese Spring Festival, the Japanese New Year's Day will not end until the 15th. This whole month is collectively called January by the Yamato nation.

January 1 to 3rd is called the Three Days. On the day of the day, juniors must first go to their parents to pay New Year's greetings, greet their parents, and then go to their relatives' and friends' homes to greet New Year's greetings. Many companies have built new and unique archways with pine, bamboo and plum at the entrances of the building and streets to show their celebration. It was not until the fifth day that the shops started to open, the stock market opened, the wholesale market was crowded with people, and the new year and new atmosphere. Everyone was thinking about what happened last year.

But Masayoshi Son has no intention of celebrating the New Year at all. He is now sitting in a black Mercedes-Benz and heading towards the target hotel.

On his way to his destination, he was flipping through a mystery novel that was released last December.

It is called "After School".

As a Japanese Korean, Masayoshi Son is of course very interested in mystery novels. Whether it is traditional natural reasoning, or the morphological faction that focuses on describing perverted psychology, or other categories, it is all within his scope of his involvement. Therefore, this novel aroused Masayoshi Son's interest at the first time. As the work of winning the Edogawa Ranbu Award last year, the author's idea of ​​its plot was beyond everyone's expectations, and the author's name was naturally deeply imprinted in his mind.

But Masayoshi Son never thought that he could rely on him to build feelings today.

Soon, the car stopped in front of the target hotel. This was a top luxury hotel in Ginza, surrounded by the highest-end and bustling shopping malls in Japan. After getting off the car, Masayoshi Son carefully sorted out his clothes and then came to the front desk very steadily.

"Hello, my name is Masayoshi Son, and I have an appointment with Alice-Miss Wang."

Just as she was waiting for the front desk lady to check the name, the girl nodded directly and said, "Hello, Mr. Sun, Miss Wang had already given instructions. Please go directly to the business meeting floor on the third floor of the hotel and meet at Hina Ying Pavilion."

"Oh, that's really a blessing for you."

Son Masayoshi immediately did not hesitate and immediately took the elevator to the third floor. After asking the waiter about the location of the relevant conference room, he soon arrived at the closed door.

Then, he did not rush in, but used the mirror in the corridor to carefully organize his newly bought suit and his meticulously maintained short hair.

Then, he knocked politely on the door, and when a request sounded, he finally walked into the room.

The reception room is pretty good, the table is probably the same as twelve people. The wallpaper pattern matches the name of "Hi Ying Pavilion" very well, and it matches the overall environment incredibly harmoniously.

Then, it was the young girl who was standing up.

It is completely different from the Japanese girls she meets every day. First of all, she is tall. Although she should be only fifteen years old, she is obviously half a head taller than most Japanese adult women. She is wearing a Chanel beige windbreaker, her delicate curves make her look tougher, her slender hair hangs behind her, and she has a 30-minute hair accessories on her forehead. Her slightly mixed-race face and eyes are bright. Even though Masayoshi Son was used to business people, she couldn't help but be deterred.

"Hello, Miss Wang, I am Masayoshi Son. I met for the first time. Please give me some advice."

"This is, please give me some advice."

He bent his body slightly, or nodded thirty degrees more appropriately. Speaking skillful Japanese, Alice smiled and said, "Call me Alice directly, you are twice as old as mine, Sun Sang."

Masayoshi Son immediately stopped being polite. After all, the other party was an American at least. After sitting down, he took the initiative to raise the topic: "I really didn't expect that Alice San actually had the plan to cooperate with me, and he spoke Japanese so skillfully. You should be in high school now, don't you know this is..."

“It’s winter vacation,”

Alice smiled relaxedly: "Then she happened to have some spare money, so she wanted to take advantage of the investment craze to visit Japan. But Sun Sang, isn't your leather bag a little too tight?"

Masayoshi Son was stunned for a moment before realizing what he was now.

Because of his nervousness, even after sitting down, his briefcase was not placed on the table or even on the sofa, but was still tightly held in his hand.

"Ah! That's right, I almost forgot, Alice Sand."

Masayoshi Son unstoppable opened his bag and took out the "After School" size of a library: "This book! Alice San, I bought it on the day of the book's release date, and I have read it three times. I really didn't expect that when I just finished reading this book for the second time, the author himself came to me. This is really, this is really..."

"Oh, this one can have it."

Alice had no surprise expression. When she poured a cup of tea for Masayoshi Son, she said easily: "If I remember correctly, because Kotanshe used my hot selling in the United States to promote the book, the sales volume of this book exceeded 10,000 in the first week of its release. Well, although it is a new market, it is much better than many ordinary new writers."

The reason why they took out this book is a very clear reason for both of them. Anyway, there is plenty of time now, so Alice is happy to let Masayoshi Son praise this debut work belonging to Keigo Higashino. However, the chat always ends. After Alice seemed to take a casual look at the watch, Masayoshi Son tactfully changed the topic.

"Actually, I've always been curious, Alice San, why did you choose me as the initiator of your career in Japan?"

He asked cautiously and slightly excitedly: "There are countless investment companies in Japan that are larger than me, and my software banking company is still in a debt crisis. You know that."

"Of course it's for potential, Sun Sang."

Alice smiled softly and said, "If the materials I got were correct, you should have come to UC Berkeley to attend school at the age of sixteen."

Masayoshi Son said modestly: "Yes, I'm a major in economics when I get higher than my studies."

"Well, then I interviewed your mentors back then. It seemed... In the third year of school, when you were eighteen, you made a profit of one million dollars by introducing a video game from Japan, right?"

"It's far worse than Alice Sand. I was eighteen and one million, and you're only fifteen now, you're already a billionaire."

Masayoshi Son was really sincere and excited to say this sentence. Although he is already a thirty-year-old man and the boss of a large investment company, and as Alice said, he easily earned millions of dollars as early as the age of eighteen. However, compared to the achievements of the girl in front of him, he could not even catch up with it.

"Well, I'm the exception."

Alice chuckled and waved her hand, "From the macro perspective, it is very rare for successful people like you to be. You are also engaged in the venture capital industry. As for venture capital, isn't it just the potential? Although you are carrying debts now, I still look forward to you."

As she said that, she took a sip of tea and said, "This time I came to Japan, my main investment field is real estate, but I am also very interested in other fields. So in this way, the amount of principal is the key, and some investors need to borrow money from me. You are also in a debt crisis now. If you invest with me, it will be much better than if you make a decision alone, right?"

After hearing Alice's words, Masayoshi Son finally put down his snacks.

As early as when he learned that the founder of Cisco and a shareholder of Microsoft, Son was constantly motivated when he wanted to invest in Japan to find him as an investment consultant.

He knows something about Alice Wang. Is the founder of Cisco, a shareholder of Microsoft, and even personally exposed the ibm incident at the press conference. He is also a best-selling writer and film director. He is really a versatile talent.

But according to the information that mainstream media can obtain at present, this girl is nothing more than a technical mate with literary and artistic nature. Of course, writing novels, making movies and programming are very irrelevant, but at least they can be classified as creative work, and there is no common point.

But when it comes to investment... it is really a problem.

Although the current economic situation in Japan is very good, it is not possible to make money by investing casually. Although Masayoshi Son has been a venture capital agent for several years, he has only contacted entrepreneurs. Although he can do such a thing as providing investment advice to a high school girl, the other party is a girl after all. What if he insists on doing it and blames himself after losing money?

But since it is real estate, it seems that you can feel at ease.

"Oh, Alice San, you didn't say it earlier. Real estate is a big hit. I have a lot of information about the national housing price in my office..."

"This is not urgent, this is not urgent."

Alice waved her hand and said, "There are so many things to do, so I'm going to do step by step. When I buy a house, I don't just want to make the difference by selling a house. So Sun Sang, you can find the lowest-priced land for me in Ginza..."

"There is no clearing in Ginza, Ari..."

“The cheapest!”

After being interrupted, Alice glanced at him dissatisfiedly. Masayoshi Son quickly shut up: "Look for the cheapest house and land. If the area is not enough, buy it. Make me a whole piece of land... ten hectares of land."

Masayoshi Son couldn't help but take a deep breath: "Ten hectares!? Alice San, are you sure it's such a large area!?"

"Well, 100,000 square meters, I know what you mean. The price of Ginza is indeed expensive. The unit area of ​​houses in Japan has always been small. If it is 100,000 square meters... It seems that the side length of the square in front of the Emperor Palace is only four or five hundred meters, right? Well..."

"No, no, no, the area is okay. If you want to build a square, the area is understandable. But Alice San, this is Ginza! It is the same shopping paradise as the Champs-Elysees in France and the Fifth Avenue in Manhattan! If you buy a full 100,000 square meters here, are you going to build the most expensive leisure square in the world!?"

Seeing Masayoshi Sun's neck turned red with excitement, Alice burst into laughter and looked at him with a smile.

"Well~ Sun Sang's words are correct. I want to build a square."

"Yeah, the commercial square."
